[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every college and university can have different policies. There is no general trend or tendency to shape a decision around. If your DC has no idea where they might want to go to school yet, take the AP exams anyway. Some schools offer credit, others may move them up. Others may not. No loss then. APs are good for rote memorization of fundamentals in several fields. There are thousands of choices in higher education, each with their own approach.[/quote] This. Also taking the AP can in some cases void the need for placement exams which can be tricker if it’s been a couple years since your kid took the class, eg. A kid who takes AP Chem sophomore year may want to skip the freshman level chem course but would otherwise have to do some reviewing before taking a placement test.[/quote]
